“According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which studied politically motivated attacks, there have been zero killings by anti-fascists in the past 26 years. By contrast, during that time, at least 329 victims were killed by white supremacists and other right-wing extremists.”

"Men do not die of the darkness… they die of the cold."

Rod Serling sent us a warning from the past that still holds relevance today: the real danger isn't disagreement or darkness but the slow, creeping frost of indifference.

The hunger of the poor can be satisfied but the greed of the rich will never be satisfied. It will choke us all.

Every day we allow 25,000 souls to starve to death. 10,000 are children and babies who suffer needlessly.

Not because the earth is barren -- but because greed prevails.
Not because the path is unclear -- but because the path forward remains untaken.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

First the wealthy class convinced everyone to slash taxes under Reagan. Then they bought political power through Citizens United.

Our current horror is just the latest stage of the wealth transfer process.

There is only one reason for this.

Trump wants Putin to keep helping him weaken the US.

Axing these officials will enable more Russian influence operations.
